In themes like "Quiet Forest" and "Ruins", bells are heavily used to create a more moody atmosphere for these more isolated lands. I find these instruments to be appropriate no matter where they are used. Whether slow or fast, the majority of the tracks in this game use bells and flutes. Because of all these filler tracks, I tend to go by the rule that, if the piece is under a minute, then it probably isn't worth listening too.īy the time we get to the next significant track "Quiet Forest", it starts to become clear that pan flutes and bells are star instruments in this game. These filler tracks like "Whoa" or "Eek!!" are mostly used for small in game cut scenes and similar causes. After "Pop Star" come a couple shorter and generic themes intended purely for the sake of the game.

I'll admit these some of these pieces get a little overly happy, but they really are appropriate for the type of game Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is. It's great to have such a familiar yet totally original sounding piece to start things off, and it's definitely a highlight of this album. It's pure happiness, catchiness, and will put you in a good mood no matter what (unless you hate cheery songs of course).

The new, for lack of a better term, "overworld" theme is simply Kirby music doing what it does best. Although "Training" gives off some hints, the fourth track "Pop Star" is where the music really starts. Obviously, since it's a pure soundtrack, it starts off with pretty basic Kirby intro and menus pieces. Let's start off by talking about some of the best original material on this album. Some tunes go even further than just catchy, which is rare for an average Kirby score and definitely a positive aspect of the album. Although some themes get repetitive while some are just straight out filler or annoying, this soundtrack has some of the catchiest melodies you may ever find. The soundtrack was composed by the main Kirby composers, Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando, who have been composing Kirby music ever since the beginning. The Kirby of the Stars 64 Original Soundtrack consists of a few remixes and a multitude of great original material. Simply put, this is a very catchy soundtrack for a very catchy game.
